IMPROVEMENT IN LAMP-FOUNTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 164,965, dated June 29,1875; application filed May 15, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD BROWN, of the city, county, and State of NewYork, have invented a new and Improved Lamp-Fount, of which thefollowing is a specification:

The accompanying drawing represents a sec tio'ual side elcxation of myimproved lampfount.

Lampfounts have been constructed with a central conical bottom cavity,for the purpose of adapting them for attachment to the burner of agas-fixture. The burner must, however, be of peculiar form, else thefount cannot be properly secured to it.

My invention relates to the combination, with a globebracket, of a lamp-fou11t, constructed with a thin curved circular bottom flange aroundthe central conical cavity therein, as hereinafter described.

In the drawing, A represents a glass lamp,

fount, or bowl, suitable for containing petroleum or other burning-oil.The fount is blown with a conical tube, B, in its bottom portion,

forming a conical cavity adapted to receive the burner of a gas-fixture.A thin circular flange, G, is cast in one piece with the fount A, andpreferably forms an exterior continuation of the tube B. The flan ge iscurved outward similar to flanges formed on the glass globes ordinarilyapplied to gas-fixtures, so that a suflicient space is left between itand the body of the fount to receive the fasteningscrew ot' the bracket.

What I claim is The combination, with the g'lObebracket, of

E DVVARD BROYVN.
